Nice colour but it will look a lot better once everything is refitted and car is sitting a bit lower.

Why does your rear bumper have a bulge coming out of the middle at the bottom?

Your guages.

I want to stick some there.

Any issues with clearance behind there? As i want to fit some without fear of interfering with the windscreen demister and without taking my dash out.

The only issue I had mate was the centre one! Had to cut out some plastic behind as the gauge wouldn't go all the way back! But no issues with the demister all works fine! But you may find it difficult to fit them with the dash in!
